TremaVng'S Executor and Trustee.

Mr. Bold, the solicitor, found among the
correspondence on his Office desk one morn
ing a letter bearing an Egyptian postmark.
It turned out to be communication from
stranger, informing him of the death in
the Soudan of Col Ernest Tremayne,
and reminding the lawyer that the will Of
the deceased was in his possession.
"Whittaker," said Mr.. Bold, looking
over his glasses at his confidential clerk,
who at that moment entered the room,
'there is letter here-confound the man,
why can't he write plainly? l can't de-
cipher his name-telling me of the death
of Col. Tremayne, and saying that I have
his will Who was Col. Tremayne 1

Mr.. Bold. "But that must be many

asked Mr.. Bold.
"Yes. I'm pretty sure, now | come to

The clerk left the room, in obedience to
a gesture from his master, to search for
the document, while Mr.. Bold occupied
himself with the remainder of his cores

All Made from Smoke.

The oldsaying that nothing is wasted or
lost in nature is true in regard to the smoke
from the furnace of Elk Rapids, Mich. In
this furnace are manufactured fifty tons of
charcoal per day. There are twenty-five
charcoal pits, constructed of brick. Each
pitts filled with 100 cords of hard wood and
then fired. The vast amount of smoke from
these pits, which was formerly lost in the
air, is now utilized. Works have been
erected to convert the smoke into chemicals
and acids.
These works are curiosity. First, they
have circular tube, made of wood, with
pine slaves, sixteen feet in length, bound
together with heavy iron hoops. This tube
is placed directly over the pits in hori-
zontal position, with an opening from each
pit into the tube. At the end nearest the
building there is large drum containinga
rotary fan, propelled by machinery, the
power of which is gas. That acts as a
suction or draft for the smoke, which is
conveyed into fire stills filled with copper

WINTER OUR GUEST.
BY FRANCIS L. MACE.

BY FRANCIS L. MACE.
He is come, the guest unbidden;
Guest unwelcome, sure to tarry.
While we fingered in the doorway,
Saying farewells fond and tender
To the dark-browed Indian summer
sunburned, beautiful enchantress-
While we watched her slow departure
With regretful, pensive feeling,
10! chariot rolling swiftly
Brought a traveller to our door
Stern old Winterl See. he enters
Asifsure of right unquestioned,
Needing not our gloomy faces,
Our half uttered salutations;
On the threshold waits moment,
Doffs and shakes his cloak of ermine,
And the air is filled with downy
Flakes that fall in feathery flight.
Once within, with steady footstep
To the very shrine and altar
Ofour household he advances.
Underneath his shaggy forehead,
Grim and stern with manya wrinkle,
Clean his eyes, so cold and steely.
Closer cling the little children
To our side, and look with timid
Chances on the strange intruder, f
Shrinking from his icy hand.
Sometimes when the windows darken
With the clouds of snow descending,
When the wind, escaped from prison,
Holds revel with the SHOWS wrath.
Then the frown of some old viking
Darkens on his rugged features,
And as nearer, wilder, louder
Rolls the battle-wave of tempest,
&. Fierce and fercer grows his yisage,
And III undertones he mutters
ofthe storms of all the ages,
As he holds unseen communion
With the demons of the ali,
But he is not always sullen,
Brooding over thoughts revengeful
When the early sunlight glitters
On the snow fields heavy laden
With a magic, midnight harvest
When the trees which bare and ghastly
Bent before the evening tempest,
In the morning stand TRANSPORTED
Into lovely Towering almonds,
Every branch q mass of blossom
White us down and pure as crystal,
Then fhe aged brow is softened
sand the voice prophetic utters
Promise of a fruitful burden
To the glistening fields and boughs.
And again when bells are Ginning
In the moonlight and the starlight
OF the sanity Christmas even
When the lights in every window
Show sweet faces bright with pleasure
All the brightness is reflected
In his eyes, and fearless fingers
Irvine his hoary locks with holly,
Then beneath the fillmore stree,
Brilliant with fairss .rurage,
Sits he like king, dispensing
Royal gifts with royal smiles.
Long he tarries, but he listens
When the days are growing longer
Listens, till he hears the laughter,
Ripping in the sunny distance,
OF the winsome April maiden,
As we spring up in our gladness,
Echoing back her song of welcome,
He will gaze into our faces
AS If fain awhile to linger,
But as nearer comes the dancing,
Mirthful, musical young goddess,
With the scent of carly violets,
Shed from her sun-lighted tresses,
He will totter TO the threshold,
Looking, lingering, o so wistful,
Till with late, repentant kindness,
As he sadly is departing,
We will touch his chill, wan fingers,
Saying softly, Friend. farewell!'

An Unused Volume.

The most beautiful volume among the
500,000 in the congressional library at
Washington is Bible which was transcrib-
ed by monk in the sixteenth century
1t could not be matched to-day in the best
printing office in the world. The parch-
ment is in perfect preservation. Every one
of its 1000 pages is a study. The general
lettering is in German text, each letter per-
feet, and every one of them in coal-black
ink, without scratch or blot from lid to
lid At the beginning of each chapter the
first letter is very large, usually two or
three inches long, and is brightly illuminat-
ed in blue or red ink. Within each ofthese
capitals there is drawn the figure of some
saint, or some incident of which the follow
ing chapter tells is illustrated. There are
two columns on page, and nowhere is
traceable the slightest irregularity of line,
space or formation of the letters Even
under magnifying glass they seem flaw
less.
The precious volume is kept, under
glass case, which is sometimes lifted to
show that all the pages are as perfect as
the two which lie open. A legend relates
that young man who had sinned deeply
became monk and resolved to do penance
for his misdeeds. He determined to copy
the Bible, that he might learn every letter
of the divine commands which he had vio-
lated. Every day for many years he patti
emily pursued his task. Each letter was
wrought with reverence and love; and the
penitent soul found its only companionship
in the sanity faces which were portrayed
on those pages. When the last touch was
given to the last letter an old man rever-
emily kissed the page and folded the sheets
together. Soon afterward he died.-Chi-

Montana a permanent home. How all
this has been changed within a score OF
years. We are still a territory but We
have a permanent population sufficient to
entitle us to a state. We have thousands
of acres of cultivated farms, hundreds of
thousands of head of valuable stock. We
have scores of quartz mines rated in the
millions and homegrown millionaires by
the dozen. We have hundreds of flourish
ing schools, and school-honses and
churches that would be a credit to some
of the original thirteen states. We have
hundreds of miles of railroad, which will
be increased into the thousands before the
season is over. We have regular courts
to do the work of vigilance committees, and
court houses that would put to shame the
majority in the old states.
Without filling in the details OF this re-

with having reached the front rank al

duetion, precious metals and stock. Our
people are prosperous, contented, hopeful

The Mails DELAYED.

HELENA, May 31.-The independent
says: The Northern Pacific is in hard
luck throughout Montana. The Mullan
tunnel is still blocked and the high waite
all over the country is causing serious
washouts.
The train from the east, due here last
evening, lies at Grey Cliff, q station beside
the Yellowstone river on the Crow reser
walton. The bridge across the Boulder
river near Big Timber went out yesterday
afternoon. 1t was reported last evening
that the West Gallatin bridge had gone out,
but this could not be verified O denied by
any authentic news whatever. The West
Gallatin is a very turbulent stream, that
W. years ago caused a long blockade in
railroad traffic.
On the west end there is even greater
trouble. The Mullan tunnel cave is said
to be fifty feet long, and to be coming in
from the roof very badly as fast as it is re-
moved. Washouts are numerous all along
from here to Heron. Between Bearmouth
and Drnnmend, a mile of track, the same
that was submerged early this spring. is
ags in under water or washed away. The
Montana Union and the Utah 81 Northern
will doubtless encounter similar Difficult
ties, and the territory may be without
mail from any direction for some days.

The Race-Horse.

The modern race-horse is one of the
pets and products of our world to-day.
The care that is lavished on his keeping,
the nicely with which lie is fed and the
training which he is given have made him
one of the MOST perfectly developed ami
mails in his kingdom. But, after all,
grooming and training viii not do much
for the horse If he does not possess
through heredity characteristics which
make him fit for speed. Blood will tell,
most breeders say dogmatically. Racing
stock must come from racing stock, and
winners from winners says Count Leadorf,
whose,"Notes ON Breeding Race-Horses"i is
published by Porter & Coates. The Count
lays down two hints as offering the great
est amount Of safety in choice of brood
mares: /. TO buy without exception
mares from the best strains only, more re-
gard being paid to the dam than to the
sire. 2. To bear in mind that a good
pedigree alone is not sufficient, because
the best bred mare may be unsound; and
to pick from the best bred mares either
those who have exhibited some form on
the turf or those who have already bred
winners and thereby proved themselves
sound dams.

Mexican, Lands.

A gentleman who has recently spent
some time in the state of Sonora, Mexico,
speaks enthusiastically of its grazing and
agricultural prospects. To a reporter he
said:
/ was more struck with the agricultural
ano cattIe-raising possibilities of Sonora
than anything else. rode over thousands
and thousands of acres Of as fine grazing
and agricultural lands as the. sun ever
shone upon. Men without capital could
amass fortunes there in no time raising
cattle for the American market. Sonora
is vertically a cattleman's paradise. There
is a lovely climate, abundant water, native
grasses by the league, plenty of shade
from thousands of oaks in the huge pas
lures; no snow, no cold, nc billiards, and
consequently no loss of stock. Mexican
herders--and no more faithful set of
workers can be found anywhere-can be
hired for fifty cents a day and board them
selves. Native cattle are dirt cheap.
Cross them with American bulls and the
result is some fine stock.
